Title: Join The Mercenary Guild
Post by: Zephyrus on October 28, 2003, 03:42:26 pm
THE MERCENARY GUILD      
(http://www.darkzephyr.plus.com/join.jpg)  
About us:

?There is one certainty, and that is death?

The greatest battle a warrior must face is the battle against fear.  All who take the life of the mercenary have emerged victorious from this conflict.  When death is no longer feared, an obstacle becomes a tool.  This tool shall not be used in the name of politics, honour, justice or love.  The services of the Guild may only be called upon in exchange for currency.  A life is worthless, until a bounty is placed upon it.  Beyond that, your motivations are not our concern.

?Death is the only law, and we are its masters?

Our world is one of chaos, not order, and strength inevitably triumphs ? the Guild is a bastion of strength and, inevitably, it shall triumph.  If you are weak, our strength may be purchased.  The guild offers a range of services, a range of prices, and a range of operatives.  The harder the job, the higher the price; the more experienced the operative you choose to employ, the more you must pay.  Espionage, guild wars, body guarding, armed escort, garrisoning ? all are within our abilities, as long as they are within your budget.  If you have the gold, we have the steel.

?We are a brotherhood of blood?

Be aware, that while the Guild is above the petty squabbles of politics, and its primary motivation is the pursuit of wealth, its members are loyally bound to each other through their knowledge of pain.  Treachery shall not be tolerated, whether between members or from outsiders.  The pride of the Guild shall at all times be maintained, and shall be mortally defended by its champions if it is challenged.  Therefore, do not doubt that to cross us is to welcome death, no matter how much you can pay.

Reasons to join:

? We are the original and first mercenaries guild, first set-up on the 7th of April 2003.

?    Resident guild artists (http://www.darkzephyr.plus.com/draftmain.jpg)  will draw your very own character portrait.

?    We are currently role-playing the 8-year history of the guild in our forums, you can get involved.

? The guild is well thought through and well established.

?    We intend to make our name known throughout the world of Planeshift.

?   We are active.

? Our hierarchy system is highly elitist; will you prove yourself worthy to become one of the 5 champions?



What we are looking for in our members:

We are open to nearly any types of character as long as they can handle themselves in a fight; this includes competent warriors, magic-users and stealthy rouges. Essentially the Mercenary guild holds combat skills (including magic), followed by stealth as the most important attributes to becoming a good mercenary.  
Merchants will not be accepted into the guild. Other proficiencies, such as healing will be considered and most likely welcomed (it\'s a foolish guild that is without the ability to cure in combat).

We have no goal other than wealth, we form no allegiances and our only enemies are our employer\'s enemies. Hence we are Chaotic Neutral. As such the ideal character for this guild has a love of gold, fighting and brotherhood towards his fellow members.

Members will be expected to train as much as possible when there is no mission, on top of this they will be expected to role-play, remain active and finally represent the guild to the best of their abilities. If you do not meet these requirements you will be removed from the guild.

The Mercenary Guild. (http://www.darkzephyr.plus.com)

Yes, these guys are mean! But a hell of a nice crowd, so give them a try and see. If it doesn\'t work out they will kill you swiftly and painlessly.

Good Luck guys

Thank you Wolfmane, I am trying not to clutter or overly post in this thread. Personally I am quite glad I rarely if ever get people spamming mercenary guild threads. I don?t think we have had a single flame yet either... (Now to watch them pour in)

Well we did have an intresting guest in the off-topic section. A fan of yours I think.  ;)

(incase anybody was wondering the picture isn\'t done, it\'s the draft of what I\'m sure will be a masterpiece with me in the upper left)

Concerning guild artists, our most active one is Empanado.

He really does good stuff:

Lol. The man has a point Wolfie; we likes our pain....  :D

And me personally... I like the sound of snapping, so if anyone decides to get annoying, I will snap them...

ooookkkkk this is a really thought through guild, you really have some good point\'s and you really know what you want...

to bad i\'m in the rangers ( well actually not the best m8\'s are in there )

but good luck recruiting....

Post by: Savion on November 05, 2003, 07:38:53 pm
Usually I would find a way to terrorize and flame this post, but that picture is just too damn cool!

I wish the mercenaries luck.
Title:
Post by: Zephyrus on November 05, 2003, 11:04:19 pm
Thank you Dorbian, thank you Savion :D. The guild is indeed well thought out, I say with a smidgen of arrogance  :P . But I put a lot of myself into it; its aims, its descriptions, its history. And with guild artists (most especially the great Empanado) to turn these visualisations into reality I believe we do have one of the most described and established guilds. However it seems for a lot of people this does not provide the same pull as a guild such as the cabal, which is more focused on promotion through flames, but I am not here to judge. I just represent a voice of reason amongst screams of hate. Besides I am happy enough playing a roll in the ever expanding Planeshift universe.
Title:
Post by: Waylander on November 06, 2003, 12:17:06 am
Yeah the mercinairies are going to be a big part of the PS world, and whenever a copycat guild comes along we will insult them again and again and again as having no originality ( of course the insulting will be done in a neutral way :P )
Title:
Post by: Zephyrus on November 07, 2003, 12:11:01 am
Cadoras you are almost too proud; we are not here to flame other mercenary type guilds, but feel free to point out that when the game is ready we will be \"competing\" for employers...

In fact, I would like to define our neutrality slightly more accurately than it has been before: In terms of world politics, the good vs. the bad, the shifting of power between guilds; none of these things concern us, and we will not involve ourselves unless paid to do so.

However (you could sense it coming couldn?t you?), We will protect our own interests. Anyone who interferes with our aims or goals will be dealt with. To clarify; our aim is profit; put simply, someone taking potential customers is biting into potential profit. At the moment there is little point in flaming or spamming those who will suffer as our competitors. At this time the guild presenting the most predominant threat to profit is the defenders, but we shall deal with them when and if the time comes.

As always competitors are offered the opportunity to join The Mercenary Guild, but I sincerely doubt they will choose this option.

And now I am going to bed, the hail of flames I may get can wait till morning.

This guild looks like it will definently be going places.  Just curious about one thong though, what mercenary...istic... things will you be involved in?  Since a PK system has not been decided on.  But you do have a very well thought out guild here and I wish you luck.
Title:
Post by: Zephyrus on November 07, 2003, 02:22:10 pm
Hmm no flames...

Well as you said the pk system is still being decided, but i think its fair to say assassination will not be one of the services available unless they massively change the pk rules.

However, for the right amount of tria i believe we will be able to offer a wide range services;

Assistance in guild wars: Stalemate? We can tip the scales, the real question is; can you afford NOT to hire us?
Guild attack: want to get rid of a certain guild that is stealing your profits? But don?t want to get blood on your own hands? We can be hired anonymously to take them out.
Garrisoning: your castle under threat? We can protect you.
Escorting: can?t complete a quest on your own? We can slay that dragon for you.
Hire a Champion: Some one challenged you to a duel in the arena? Not sure you can win? Why not hire one of our 5 champions to represent you, by fighting instead of you.
Real world character portraits: want a character portrait? Hire our guild artist Empanado to bring to life the character you have always imagined.

The above services are almost certain; the ones below however depend on what rules are implemented:

Spying: need to know what goes on behind closed doors? We can find out.
Thieving: someone got an item with your name on it?  We can retrieve it.
Demolition: someone?s castle/shop/house in your way? We can smash it? smashy smashy?
Merchandise escorting: have to move your wares through a particularly bandit infested stretch of land? Or though a stretch of pk enabled land? We can defend your goods, and make sure they arrive on time.
Assassination: someone in particular obstructing your livelihood? We can ?remove? your problem.

I think I have most of our possible services there. However if you are a more unique customer and have a different need that you believe we may be able to satisfy, do not be afraid to ask.

Post by: Savion on November 08, 2003, 05:13:00 am
I\'ve always liker mercenaries... getting payed to fight and kill...

sounds good to me
Title:
Post by: Zephyrus on November 08, 2003, 01:55:52 pm
:)  Again, thank you Savion, I have a feeling being a mercenary will be a lot of fun...    :]

Edit: I am curious if anyone can come up with more employment opportunities than the ones above?

well i am back from my meditative Phase of the year.
What have i missed?
Title:
Post by: Zephyrus on November 13, 2003, 04:48:20 pm
Hey Serphet! Good to have you back! :D

Quite a few new members, some modifications to the site, and a lot of new pictures. And outside of the guild; a lot of spamming courtesy of A LOT of new planeshifters, and A LOT of new guilds. The dark alliance is back too, except hellsing has been replaced by the Blackflame clan. That?s about it really...

Oh, also I fractured and dislocated my kneecap about 2 weeks ago now  :(

Welcome home man.
Title:
Post by: Zephyrus on November 16, 2003, 03:36:13 pm
But then again the thread has to be high enough so that people read it, time to double post. Time to incite some argument and keep this thread high.

Your pathetic squabbles mean nothing to us, the mercenary guild has seen your plights, your endless vying for power and respect. We have watched you from the wings with our impassive stares. Because we, unlike you, have made a realisation; Power, respect, honour, good and evil... in this word, in this life, these things mean nothing. They are concepts, abstractions, face it; no one guild will ever have total power, no one guild will ever rule this world. There is no pure evil or any true good; no black, no white, only blurred and muddy shades of grey somewhere in between.

Blood, gold and loyalty; these three things alone have meaning, and it is these things alone that a mercenary knows. Our existence is simple, our purpose is clear, and our minds are pure.

The mercenary guild will smash up your face, we will carve you up, we will impale your heart, we will snap you and break you without remorse. Because your life is worthless until a price is placed upon it. The only worthy life, is the one that follows the path of the mercenary; the path of one who has realised the futility of perusing abstractions. To follow this path, join the mercenary guild.

A fitting reply to your post, Zephyrus. Just what the thread needed to get back on its feet. :P
Title:
Post by: Zephyrus on November 18, 2003, 12:12:49 am
Yeah, you try for intelligent and well reasoned out in character posts... but in the end... it never works out... maybe if i post \"Cabal sux crotches\" that will work

Nah I love Empanado really, bless him  :)  :rolleyes:
Title:
Post by: Jaxan on November 19, 2003, 12:11:29 am
[insert mushy acceptance speech here]

w00t  :]

Empanado and I are the Mercenary Guild\'s only currently existing \"foot soldiers.\" :D

To all you other mercs: early butt-kissing is crucial :P (wait till you get  to at least  initiate to start stating your honest opinion) and advertise at every possible moment. Do this and you may become one of Zephyrus\' legendary foot-soldiers.
^a bit of sarcasm in this paragraph  :P

Don\'t let the dizzying highs of such power go to your head Jaxan  :D

Title: Chat
Post by: Jaxan on November 21, 2003, 10:35:52 pm
The Mercenary Guild Chatroom is now up in running.
Have a question about us? Looking to join? Stop by, I\'ll be hanging out there alot.

http://www.darkzephyr.plus.com/chat.htm
Title:
Post by: Zephyrus on November 22, 2003, 11:46:36 am
I will be there as often as possible, I will also put the server and chartroom address up so you can access with mIRC or its kind if you wish rather than that java applet. But at the moment I am in the process of upgrading my pc to a nice flashy P4 so I may not be on today, but Sunday no doubt I will be about
Title:
Post by: Jaxan on November 23, 2003, 07:04:09 pm
A warm welcome to our two newest apprentices, Kaelath, and Wingalingdragon. The might of The Mercenary Guild continues to increase.
Title:
Post by: Zephyrus on November 23, 2003, 10:43:16 pm
:) Yup, two new members and several who are interested in joining...

Anyway its been a busy almost completely non-Planeshift weekend for me; setting up my new pc, a Radiohead gig last night, and a HUGE LAN party of age of mythology and Halo today.

But anyway now that the weekend is over (in the UK) I am back, so there will be more updates on the site...

Anyway, to join our chat server using mIRC or a similar program rather than our java script thing, here are the details:

Server: Milwaukee.US.ChattersOnline.com
Port: 8180
Channel: #The_Mercenary_Guild

These settings work for me anyway. So how about it, if you have any questions or just want to talk to some fellow Planeshift fans then drop by. I should be there most evenings (GMT).
Title:
Post by: Windra on November 24, 2003, 05:34:22 pm

LOL! I just promoted you AND I hadn\'t even seen this tread... spooky... Anyway I have only seen, me, the bot, Jaxan, and Keung in the chat room so far..

Anyway there has been a few changes to the guild site, I uploaded the original guild concept which I wrote all the way back in April before i founded the guild. And Keungs Picture was uploaded. Our gallery is begging to become a major planeshift art resource, lol. Feel free to check out all the guild art Here (http://www.darkzephyr.plus.com/gallery.htm)

Thanks :D
That\'s my future character in all his bad-ass glory.

I might be up to drawing other stuff if people ask...my biggest problem tends to be coming up with ideas.  Does this make me a guild artist?
Title:
Post by: Zephyrus on November 25, 2003, 12:16:54 pm
Cool  :D  ok, well I will add your names to the guild artist section.  :D  I am looking forward to seeing many more of your pictures shiyar/keung  ;) .

who is this new recruit?....o and welcome Icefalcon
Title:
Post by: Zephyrus on November 28, 2003, 03:58:18 pm
Icefalcon is some guy that read our guild site and asked to be made into an apprentice, so i said ok. That\'s about all i know about him, I sent him some questions with the welcome email, so I will know more about him when he replies. If he answers the questions well and seems to fit the guild ethic, and stays around long enough, then I will let him become an initiate; a true member of the guild.
Title:

Hey thx guys, I wont disappoint you :)

Post by: Axsyrus on November 28, 2003, 08:10:37 pm
use this to include an image in your sig: [ IMG ]http://www.darkzephyr.plus.com/flag/cool%20icon.jpg[ /IMG ] (without spaces)
you can\'t have an avatar on these forums, it\'s something only moderators/admins can have.
Title:
Post by: Icefalcon on November 28, 2003, 09:17:47 pm
Alright thx, I think we should be able to use avatars though...
Title:

Post by: Davis on December 01, 2003, 04:48:25 am
Hey guys! Whats up.  Nothing here just came cuz I\'m tired and bored and have nothing better to do. Although if you have seen me in game, then that\'s weird, I don\'t go there much. But I can\'t wait till I win the lottery. Then the dollars will be available for whatever I want!
Title:
Post by: Zephyrus on December 01, 2003, 04:27:44 pm

goddamn it  X( , i am sorry the guild has been going a tad slow for the past week guys.

Damn straight! I love having a caring, female guild member = sympathy and ego massaging.  :D

Anyway back on topic; The Mercenary Guild, like always is recruiting, so why not apply to become an apprentice today? REMEMBER! The Mercenary Guild is an equal opportunities employer.   :]

Lol, I am proud too  :D . but it makes me happy to see you appreciate being a member :)

I still cant seem to get your even sword fighter picture to work Anium... nor can I get anything else on hot.ee to work. But I would still like to see it, maybe you could email it? And if you drew it yourself then I can upload it to the site :)

Anyway, I am also announcing our newest member; Darkalfx, you have made a good choice  8)

I hope all the mercenaries who I haven?t spoken to recently had a merry x-mas... I have been on both sets of boards quite a few times in the past couple of days (these ones and our own) I have just had nothing worth saying in any threads. So yes I am still alive, the mercenary guild is still going strong :). And this whole post is probably classed as spam... I just got bored.

The chilean thing\'s back!

Ok, guys, just posting so you know that i\'m still alive, i\'ll post here \'cause my pc crashes when i enter on the guild\'s forums. (I love the third world!) Oh well. Welcome new members.

P.S: So, did you guys like the pics after all? (Serphet-Windra-Deadfish) Sup with that?
Oh and Kylaksa, do you wish a new pic or ya\'re happy with the one you have?

P.P.S: Don\'t expect me to post a lot here anyway, most probably my pc will crash 9/10 times anyway.

Oh and i hate George Bush. Got the \"Stupid white men\" book for xmas! i\'m as happy as a white poney splashing on a narrow pool filled with his own dirty blood! Yay!
Title:
Post by: Zephyrus on January 06, 2004, 02:47:06 pm

Anyway its good to see you around Empanado :). I am sorry you cant get on the forums? I am not entirely sure what could be wrong with it?

Oh, and Empanado, can you make the pic look something like this: A buff wide shuldered Kran wearing battle-scared heavy armour on torsole, hands, and legs, wielding two blood stained axes. And around him will lay a few brutaly killed soldiers.

If its not to hard could you please make something like that... cuz i know a perfect way to use it in my sig (once i get photoshop instaled)

Xanaroth, I quote from the Mercenary Guild\'s rules...\"and we do not form allegiances outside the guild.\" I see you have joined the DE, which is breaking the rules of our clan...

Yeah, i love this guild...

And where exactly did my new logo go? Any mods want to confess/tell me, or is it just going to be blamed on \'random post disapearences\'. I would have put it in fan art if it was fan art, but its guild art so i figure fan of guild fanart should go in the guild section...  ?(

You should be happy for Xanaroth, he made the best choice of his PS career ;).
Title:

I\'ll say. I congratulate the Mercenary Guild once again.
Title:
Post by: Jaxan on April 02, 2004, 02:26:51 am
We too are happy for Xanaroth. If the DE suits him better, so be it. I hope that\'s not a shot at the Mercenary Guild...

Anyway, Bloodluth (ForteX here I guess) has been around long enough, and been loyal enough to receive promotion by Icefalcon to iniate status. Good job man.:)

I think its about time to bring out the Boot of Inactive-Member Kicking. We\'ve got seven members who I haven\'t heard anything from in months...

Our focus is to become an elite fighting force, not a paper tiger.
